GOULBURN ITEMS. . -,. AFTER all the excitement and work apper taining to the recent miuniciphl election, :it seems that Mr.' Horn has' forfeited his seat as alderman, and an advertisement 'elSewhere announces a fresh election. W'he'tlier rightor not, it is not our intentidn at present: to pass an opinion. We, however, regret that the serious illness of Mr. Horn has-prevented him from giving the public his views on the ques tion; and as this gentleman is rapidly iregaining his health, we hope soon to see hiri: about, when' doubtless his explanation will be accep ted by his friends and 'ate??jaers.p We are glad to notide that the credit of the district for stock and ahnlmost every kind of production is kept up at the exhibition of the colony. We find that Mr. Douglas of'Inver alochy has taken prizes for horses and well bred cattle, some of which took first prizes at the late show at this place. idrs. S. Emanuel has also received first and second prizes for poultry, and competent judge...

Another Robbery. WE have to report another robbery as having taken-place some time during the week, when from Mr. Bryant's butchering establishment, Grafton-street, two trousers and vests, a shirt, a coat, set of gold studs, two lockets, and watch and chiin were stolen from the room occupied by John Bryant, who owns the pro pefrt. Oh interviewing this young man he informs us that he had all the articles that have been stolen in his possession on Sunday night last, and he did not miss them till this morning, and he values the lot at about £r7. It-seems strange that all the recent robberies are confined to the northern part of the city.

' GUNNING. HAVING observed that several matters require looking up in this town, and finding that the old residents are a quiet and ease-loving peo pie, which of course accounts for their not rushing matters a little' more, I ventuire: to bring among other.matters some of the wants .before their notice. ': : The footpath rotind the cour'thouse fence. is sadly in want of a little :attention..: There has been an attempt made to gravel or make up the footway, but giving the persons who did thework all credit forgood intention, it is a wretched affair. The person who did the work must have been very short-sighted, Ior he ,evidently.mistdok clay and fair sized rocks~ for gravel. At this corner is another new-idea in .the shape 'of posts, two on either side of the pathway, against which on a dark night persons walking that way, especially strangers, must almost inievitably strike, arid such an accident is not pleasant. I don't see why the government officials slhould be allowed to~dd that...

CABLE MESSAGES. (From Sydney Daily Papers. I LONDON, April 25. SaoRTLv after the House of Commons met this afternoon, Mr. Gladstone rose to express. the deep regret which was felt by himself and his colleagues at the loss sustained by the country in the death of the Earl of Beacons field, which he felt sure was shared by per sons of al:shades of political opinions. " It was, Mr. Gladstone said, the desire of the G6vernment that a fitting memorial should be' raised to the deceased Earl at the expense of the country. With this object, he gave notice that in a "fortnight fromin: the presenit :,time: he would move that funds be granted for the erection 'of a monument in West minster Abbey. ...

THlE principal subject occupying the mind of the public at the present time is the recent arrival of the Chinese-a class of colonists that the respectable portion of the community most decidedly, and we contend, justly ob ject to. That they are most undesirable we will endeavor to show, and are surprised that the agitation against them has not as yet reached Goulburn. The success of a country depends entirely on,its population and their actions; and political economists contend that numbers do the greater share in creating such success; but those forming the number should be so cially and morally similar, and we need not show our readers the breadth of the line be tween the European and the Chinese race. Too oft has the tale been told, and the com parison drawn. Let us consider for one moment the amount of revenue contributed to the state for the necessaries of life by the Chinese, and compare this with the Euro peans. Then look at the condition of these wretched creatures in their ...

To the Editor of the Evening Penny Post. THE Goulburn Herald appears to gloat over the misfortune that has overtaken Mr. Horn, and seems in substance (if not in words) to express a wish that his seat in the Council may be contested. This is anything but a generous feeling towards an afflicted, old, and respected citizen, whom God in His wisdom has thought fit to lay His heavy hand upon. For the credit of Goulburn I hope there will not be found one mean enough to oppose his return ; if otherwise, it will show a mean, spiteful feeling exists among a certain party against him. Yours, SINCERITY.
